Anne Catherine Hanson (Arab)

Hanson, Anne Catherine (Arab)

It is with great sadness that the family announces

the death of Anne Hanson on April 14th 2014

at the age of 97. Formally of Halifax, Nova Scotia,

she lived in Montreal for the past 45 years.

Predeceased by her husband Raymond,

son Raymond Jr (Bucky), grandson Justin Bokor

and her brother Arthur Arab of Halifax.

She will be dearly missed by her children Sandra Hunter,

Alana Hanson-Fava (Franco Fava), Christopher Hanson,

Maurina Bokor and Louisa Belanger (Joey Belanger),

12 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

Anne lived an interesting and varied life as secretary to

the Admiral of the Navy, legal secretary to her deceased

brother Edward Arab and medical secretary at

the Montreal General Hospital, Shriners Hospital

and the Ready Memorial Hospital.

Using her research talents, love of reading and

acquiring knowledge, Anne ‘played detective’ and

succeeded in reuniting a mother and son after 35 years apart.

Anne helped out at her beloved St-Monica’s Parish

where she attended mass every day and played bridge.

She was also an active volunteer at the War Veterans association,

Meals on Wheels and Benny Farm where she aided seniors and

veterans with their income tax preparations.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude towards

the staff of St-Andrews Presbyterian Home and especially

Mrs. Enid Massop for taking such wonderful care of their mother.

Donations to St-Andrews Presbyterian Home Foundation

would be greatly appreciated.

A private service will be held at a later date.
